Helldivers 2, the sequel to Arrowhead Game Studios 2015 top-down shooter, was a breath of fresh air when it hit shelves back in February of this year. Vibrant terrain, merciless alien hordes, and comical satire gave this third-person shoot-em-up the edge over addictive battle royales. Geared toward co-op play (because Terminid scum creates sticky situations), I challenged myself to play solo. Why should I miss out just because I have no friends? Now, recent patches have made it harder for solo players to survive, but that wont bully the loner out of me.
